EN 60968:2013

Self-ballasted lamps for general lighting services - Safety requirements

IEC 60968:2012 specifies the safety and interchangeability requirements, together with the test methods and conditions, required to show compliance of tubular fluorescent and other gas-discharge lamps with integrated means for controlling starting and stable operation (self-ballasted lamps), intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having: - a rated wattage up to 60 W; - a rated voltage of 100 V to 250 V; - Edison screw or bayonet caps. The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1988, Amendment 1:1991 and Amendment 2:1999. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition. a) For reasons of photobiological safety, the scope has been extended. b) A new definition and clause on UV radiation have been introduced. c) Clauses on normative references and an annex on literature were added. d) The latest IEC template has been adapted.

Lampes à ballast intégré pour l'éclairage général - Exigences de sécurité

La CEI 60968:2012 spécifie les exigences de sécurité et d'inter-changeabilité ainsi que les méthodes et les conditions d'essais exigés pour démontrer la conformité des lampes tubulaires à fluorescence et autres lampes à décharge à dispositif intégré d'amorçage et de stabilisation du fonctionnement (lampes autoballastées) destinées à l'éclairage domestique et similaire et ayant: - une puissance nominale inférieure ou égale à 60 W; - une tension nominale de 100 V à 250 V; - un culot à vis Edison ou un culot à baïonnette. Les exigences de la présente norme ne concernent que les essais de type. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1988, l'Amendement 1:1991 et l'Amendement 2:1999. Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente. a) Pour des raisons de sécurité photobiologique, le domaine d'application a été étendu. b) Une nouvelle définition et un nouvel article traitant du rayonnement UV ont été introduits. c) Un article concernant les références normatives et une annexe traitant de la littérature ont été introduits. d) Le document a été adapté au format CEI le plus récent.

Sijalke za splošno razsvetljavo z vgrajeno predstikalno napravo - Varnostne zahteve

Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve za varnost in zamenljivost vključno s preskusnimi metodami in pogoji, ki so potrebni za preverjanje skladnosti cevnih fluorescenčnih sijalk in drugih plinskih sijalk z vključenimi sredstvi za nadzorovan vklop in stabilno delovanje (sijalke z vgrajeno predstikalno napravo), ki so namenjene za domačo in podobno splošno razsvetljavo ter imajo:
– nazivno moč do 60 W;
– nazivno napetost od 100 do 250 V;
– edisonov navoj ali bajonetni pokrov.
Zahteve iz tega standarda se nanašajo samo na tipsko preskušanje.
Priporočila za preskušanje celotnega proizvoda ali serije so v obravnavi. Ta del standarda zajema fotobiološko varnost glede na standarda IEC 62471 in IEC/TR 62471-2. Nevarnost zaradi modre ali infrardeče svetlobe je pod nivojem, ki zahteva označevanje.
